About this title

Review:

If you're not sure what all those cooking utensils in your kitchen drawer are for, Now You're Cooking: Everything a Beginner Needs To Know To Start Cooking Today is for you. With straightforward instructions for everything from boiling water for pasta to what to do with a colander, Elaine Corn, a food writer, cooking teacher and author of Gooey Desserts, guides the novice through the ins and outs of the kitchen, offering 120 simple, but delicious recipes along the way. The book won the 1995 Julia Child Award in the General Category.

From Library Journal:

For those who are terrified by the word saute or don't have the faintest idea of what to do with a colander, this is the perfect book. Corn is a food writer, cooking teacher, and author of the irresistible Gooey Desserts (LJ 11/15/93). Her new book grew out of a newspaper series, and it explains, in an extremely unintimidating manner, everything from how to boil water for pasta to the easiest way to clean up the kitchen. Along the way, there are 120 recipes, all of them simple but most of them intended to be served to company (as well as family). In the same vein as Lora Brody's The Kitchen Survival Guide (LJ 5/15/92) but more "grown-up," this is recommended for most collections.
